Maria Francis (MBACP) Registered

About me

I have over 33 years experience working within the public service sector and have a varied experience of life and its challenges. What I realised is that there is much attention paid to external aspects of peoples lives for example their work, life style or standing in society that many people become isolated in their own internal worlds. The world of their feelings, thoughts and beliefs. This sense of isolation can result in unhappiness and confusion. I wanted to understand more about this so I returned to education and retrained as a therapeutic counsellor.

The key to the counselling process is the client/counsellor relationship, therefore I aim to provide a welcoming, confidential and professional service focusing on your individual needs where you will have the opportunity to explore issues and how they may be impacting on your life currently.

I offer both brief and longer term therapy depending on your individual need.
